Omschrijving
Including facts, stories and information drawn from across history, science, art and literature - from finger-prints to angel physiology, from Isaac Newton's death-mask to the afterlife of Einstein's brain, this title explores our relationship with our bodies and investigates our changing attitudes to the extraordinary physical shell we inhabit.
Magnificent, inspired. Stimulating scientific hypotheses, bold philosophic theories, illuminating quotations and curious facts. I recommend it to all
Chock-full of insights, rich in detail. Inserts fascinating scientific snippets and anecdotes about our organs into the wider history of our changing understanding of our bodies
Brims with fascinating details, infectious enthusiasm . . . the terrain he covers is so richly brought to life
Elegant and informative. A thing of wonder and a repository of fascinating facts
Highly recommended
